“Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.” Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865.

“As a nation, we began by declaring that All men are created equal. We now practically read it, All men are created equal, except Negroes. Soon, it will read All men are created equal, except Negroes, and Foreigners and Catholics. When it comes to this, I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty. To Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure and without the base alloy of hypocrisy” –Abraham Lincoln
